Abstract The aim was to broaden knowledge on the cytogenetics of the subtribe Meliponina, by furnishing cytogenetic data as a contribution to the characterization of bees from the genus Oxytrigona. Individuals of the species Oxytrigona cf. flaveola, members of a colony from Tangará da Serra, Mato Grosso State, Brazil, were studied. The chromosome number was 2n = 34, distributed among four chromosomal morphologies, with the karyotype formula 8m+8sm+16st+2t. Size heteromorphism in the first metacentric pair, subsequently confirmed by sequential staining with fluorochrome (DA/DAPI/CMA 3 ), was apparent in all the examined individuals The nucleolar organizing regions (NORs) are possibly located in this metacentric chromosome pair. These data will contribute towards a better understanding of the genus Oxytrigona. Given that species in this group are threatened, the importance of their preservation and conservation can be shown in a sensible, concise fashion through studies such as this. Key words: chromosome, heteromorphism, fluorochrome. Received: December 14, 2009; Accepted: March 30, The number of stingless bee species (subtribe Meliponina) found in the Neotropics is extremely high, with approximately 400 known to date (Biesmeijer and Slaa, 2004). In Brazil, there are 192 already described species, belonging to 27 genera (Silveira et al., 2002). Studies have reached the cytogenetic level in 75, whereas in many only the chromosome number has been determined (Rocha et al., 2003). Thus, the urgent need for further studies, as many native species of social bees are becoming extinct, through the destruction of their habitats by deforestation, forest fires, the lumber industry, insecticides and honey collectors (Kerr et al., 2001). Certain groups of meliponines, such as the genus Oxytrigona, have specific characteristics. Bees of this genus are commonly known as cospe-fogo (fire spitting), due to the peculiar characteristic of secreting a caustic liquid (formic acid) from the mandibular glands, thereby giving rise to severe burns in both animals and humans, while leaving permanent spots on the skin. Besides being highly aggressive, they are also cleptobiotic, as colony robbers of Send correspondence to Diones Krinski.

The genus was last reviewed by Schwarz (1948), who only recognized one species, Oxytrigona tataira, yet it is now considered to include several subspecies and even undescribed species (Silveira et al., 2002). Michener (2000) reported the existence of eight species of Oxytrigona in the Neotropics, six of which were found in Colombia (Nates- Parra, 2001), during a study on local stingless bees. Recently, Gonzalez and Roubik (2008) reviewed the genus and described 11 species of Oxytrigona. Among those species of Oxytrigona so far studied cytogenetically, only the chromosome umber of O. tataira (n = 17) was placed in evidence by the crushing technique, thereby revealing four morphological types of chromosomes, classified in decreasing order based on size (Kerr, 1972). In the state of Mato Grosso (Brazil), the cytogenetic study of bees as a whole, is rare (Costa et al., 2004). Therefore, there is a need for a cytogenetic study on Oxytrigona cf. flaveola, which is found in this region, especially considering the current threat of extinction to approximately 100 bee species, as emphasized by Kerr et al. (1996). Further studies of these bees would contribute towards the characterization and correct classification of spe-
2 Krinski et al. 495 cies. Cytogenetic analysis is a resource that, together with other areas of research, has offered contributions to knowledge on phylogeny (Costa et al., 2003; Camargo and Pedro, 2003; Rocha et al., 2003; Rasmussen and Cameron, 2007; Gonzalez and Roubik 2008), speciation mechanisms (Tavares et al., 2007; Lopes et al., 2008; Souza et al., 2008) and genetic variability (Rocha et al., 2002; Domingues et al., 2005; Martins et al., 2009), seeing that chromosomes are the physical basis of the genetic system. A colony of O. cf. flaveola was collected from a wall in the urban area of Tangará da Serra ( S, W), Mato Grosso State, Brazil, to be used for cytogenetic analysis. Voucher specimens are deposited in the Biology Laboratory of the Universidade do Estado de Mato Grosso, Tangará da Serra campus. The material used to obtain metaphase chromosomes was extracted from the cerebral ganglia of 20 post-defecating O. cf. flaveola larvae, according to the methodology developed by Imai et al. (1988). A minimum of 10 metaphases per specimen were analyzed. Conventional staining was carried out with a solution of 1 ml of Giemsa, in 30 ml of Sörensen buffer 0.06 M (ph = 6.8) for 25 min at room temperature, followed by sequential staining with fluorochromes (4-6-diamidino-2- phenylindole - DAPI and chromomycin A 3 - CMA 3 ) (Schweizer, 1980). 4-6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) is a fluorochrome that binds to AT and GC bases. Nevertheless fluorescence intensity is significantly higher with DNA rich in AT bases, thereby generating more pronounced, brilliant regional banded patterns. Chromomycin A 3 (CMA 3 ) is an antibiotic with affinity for GC base pairs (Sumner, 1990). Furthermore, CMA 3 regions are generally associated with nucleolar organizer regions (NORs). Metaphase cells revealed by Giemsa and fluorochrome staining were captured by a CCD camera (OPTRO- NICS, model DEI-470) connected to an Olympus TM BX60 microscope equipped with epifluorescence, with a WB filter ( = nm) and immersion objectives at 100x magnification. Graphs and karyograms were constructed using an image analysis program (Image-Pro Plus, version 3.1, Media Cybernetics, 1998). Oxytrigona cf. flaveola proved to have 2n = 34 chromosomes (Figure 1a), as previously observed in O. tataira (Kerr, 1972). The four morphological chromosome types were determined based on nomenclature as proposed by Levan et al. (1964): four metacentric pairs (m), four submetacentric pairs (sm), eight subtelocentric pairs (st) and one telocentric pair (t) for diploid individuals, thereby furnishing the karyotype formula 8m+8sm+16st+2t (Figure 1a). Size heteromorphism was found in the first chromosome pair of all the individuals analyzed (Figure 1a, b). Oxytrigona cf. flaveola has a higher chromosome number than previously karyotyped species belonging to the tribe Meliponini (Pompolo, 1992; Rocha and Pompolo, 1998; Rocha et al., 2002, 2003), with most chromosomes being either submetacentric or subtelocentric. Studies on 27 genera of the tribe gave note of haploid chromosome numbers ranging from 8 to 20 chromosomes (Kerr, 1948, 1952, 1969, 1972; Kerr and Silveira, 1972; Hoshiba, 1988, Hoshiba and Imai, 1993; Pompolo, 1994; Brito-Ribon et al., 1999). The high chromosome number of O. cf. flaveola may be related to centric fission, as proposed by the theory of minimal interaction (Imai et al., 1988). According to this theory, the karyotype evolved as a means of minimizing genetic damage through centric fission, with the consequential increase in chromosome number. The regions of fission would correspond to an unstable telomeric region. Chromosome stability would be regained with in tandem growth of regional heterochromatin, thereby generating heterochromatic arms. Sequential staining showed that chromosomes of pair 1 are preferably CMA 3 +. These chromosomes had one arm preferentially stained by CMA 3 fluorochromes, usable for revealing size heteromorphism (Figure 1b). Brito et al. (2003) reported CMA 3 + heteromorphic markings found in the large chromosomes of some species of Partamona, a possible indication of phylogenetic relationship between the genera Partamona and Oxytrigona, as suggested by Costa et al. (2003). There are two hypotheses for explaining heteromorphism in pair one: (1) the small chromosome could be an ancestral condition, with the larger originating through in tandem amplification of regions rich in GC pairs (CMA 3 + ); and (2) the large chromosome would be the ancestral condition, with the smaller originating from deletion of a portion of the former. Thus, cytogenetic analysis of other O. cf. flaveola colonies might provide relevant data to prove either of the two hypotheses. GC bases were prevalent in the region marked by CMA 3 in pair 1 of O. cf. flaveola, thereby implying that this chromosome may contain sites of ribosomal DNA sequences, since there is generally an association between the presence of nucleolar organizer regions (NORs) with CMA 3 labeling in the same chromosome region (Sumner, 1990). A positive correlation between CMA 3 and NORs has been reported in several species of the subtribe Meliponina, as Partamona mulata and Partamona vicina (Brito-Ribon et al., 1999), Partamona peckolti (Brito et al., 2003), Partamona helleri and Partamona seridoensis (Brito et al., 2005), Trigona fulviventris (Domingues et al., 2005), and four other species of Trigona (Costa et al., 2004). The scarcity of biological information on bees from the subtribe Meliponina, especially the genus Oxytrigona, underlines the importance of further cytogenetic knowledge of this group, as a whole. This could be useful in orientating taxonomy and conservation methods. Cytogenetics directly affects progress in taxonomy studies, by ensuring biological data with the elimination of subjectivity in sys-
